President Donald Trump and California Governor Gavin Newsom recently sparred over his state’s homelessness crisis. “Governor Gavin Newsom has done a really bad job on taking care of the homeless population in California. If he can’t fix the problem, the Federal Govt. will get involved!” tweeted Trump.
The statistics are bleak. According to MarketWatch:
More than half a million people are homeless each night in the United States, a new White House report has found. And nearly half of them are concentrated in one state: California.
All told, 47% of all unsheltered homeless people nationwide — meaning those who sleep in areas not meant for habitation, such as sidewalks, parks, cars and abandoned buildings, rather than in shelters — live in the Golden State, according to a new report on homelessness from the White House Council of Economic Advisers. Unsheltered homeless people represent just over a third (35%) of the overall homeless population nationwide.
At the city level, four of the five cities with the highest rate of unsheltered homelessness are in California: San Francisco, Los Angeles, Santa Rosa and San Jose.
California leads the nation in both the number of unshelerered homeless overall, and in the percentage of homeless who are unsheltered.

For reference, only 12% of the U.S. population lives in California.
California’s 2019-2020 budget allocates $2.4 billion to fighting homelessness, or roughly $18,500 per homeless person. When that much is being spend per homeless person, it should be obvious that the issue isn’t with money, but rather the governments efficiency in allocating that money. Obvious to everyone except California’s politicians, that is. According to NPR: As the homelessness crisis in California grows more acute, Gov. Gavin Newsom is planning to ask lawmakers for [an additional] $1.4 billion to pay monthly rents, build more shelters and provide treatment to those struggling with finding long-term housing, the governor’s office announced on Wednesday.
Will over $29,000 per homeless person finally do the trick? Seeing how California has been managing the situation thus far, certainly not.

So where do you think all that money is going? I would love to see Nancy Pelosi comment on this. (But we all know that she won't) Neither will Maxine Waters.

Why is this!? Employment is up, jobs are being created making this unexplainable as far as I can see. Are these mostly drug users and i*****l a***ns? What are the statistics on the origin of so much homelessness? Untrained and therefore unqualified
to do anything? How does a person become this failed human on a country with welfare, food stamps and free education? If we continue to depend on marijuana and other drugs for taxes to run the country and we continue to create more drug addicts we’ll soon become fair game for any country wanting to take us over. Or other parties who want to rewrite our Constitution. I’m not brilliant so if anyone can answer this situation which is worse than the Great Depression, please do.

Oh boy! Another self-perpetuating bureaucracy with huge pensions. How about we just send the money to NGOs, whether faith-based or not, who have a proven track record of dealing with these problems, to do the job. Father Joe's Village, St Vincent DePaul, Brother Bennos, Salvation Army, to name a few in San Diego County.

It would be amazing to hear what Nancy and Maxine would come up with. Neither of them has any idea of the seriousness of the situation. They’re only concerned with doing away with Trump, one way or another!

The young Mayor of Stockton, a graduate of Stanford, I believe, led the city to provide each low-income family with $500 for housing.

CA is not only the home of fruit and nuts. Also socialists.

You do know Washington DC has a pretty big population of homeless people why doesn't Donald talk about that?

You do know that over 47% of the homeless are in California! CA only represents 12% of the U.S. Population.

Why do you want President Trump to talk about this? The thread is about CA. Trump can't talk about everything. In typical l*****t Democrat fashion you bring extraneous issues into the argument to defuse, deflect, and obfuscate the issue.

The two most favorite words of the left are "What if..." and "What about..."

'What if' the Democrats dealt with one issue at a time instead of confusing every issue?
'What if' I won the lottery? But I didn't win the lottery.
'What if' Trump had not been elected President? However, he was elected President.
'What if" those on the left had a brain and could think? Never mind!
